We used to do this all the time, it was loads of fun. At the end of a long flight, as we were approaching our destination, one of us would eject. It was a hilarious prank, the person who did it would get free drinks at the bar all night.
Well, it didn't always work out that way. Ejecting is quite dangerous, with injuries common. So sometimes the person who ejected ended up in the hospital, or dead, then it was slightly less funny. And then there were those times when the pilot wasn't found quickly and froze, if it was cold, or drowned, or just plain got lost in the wilderness. And occasionally, the wreckage would land on a school, or set a huge forest fire, and of course we thought that just made the prank even more funny!
Seriously? Ejecting isn't like rolling out of bed, it's a serious, dangerous business. It turns out that it is much more likely that a pilot will wait too long to eject, until they are outside the safe ejection envelope, than that someone will eject with no reason.

If you think putting other peoples lives in danger is funny, you’re kind of a sick individual and might want to seek out some therapy. When you pull the fire alarm, it sounds the alarm and sends a message to a monitoring company to dispatch the fire department.
Every time a fire truck rolls, for some reason there are always drivers usually inexperienced that panic that put theirs and others in danger. Then you have the students at the school that you never know how they will react and what about old Mrs Johnson? I don’t care who you are, when the fire alarm goes off, it startles you.
Old Mrs Johnson might get startled and drop dead from a heart stack. If any of these scenarios were to happen you could be brought up on manslaughter charges for inadvertently killing someone. Still funny? So you think none of that will happen and you decide to go ahead with your plan.
Because of all the school shootings over the past several years, pretty much all schools have cameras everywhere. So once you pull the alarm someone in the office will check the fire panel to see where the alarm is, check the area to see if it’s actually an alarm and then wait for the fire department to show up and give the go ahead to return to class.
